Gateleg table identification

Hello, does anyone know what these numbers mean? They're on the bottom of the table and drawer.

 

Hi Daniel!

Welcome to Antiquers...........

Probably production numbers........could we see the whole table?

Please choose Full Image when posting your photos.

 

Hi Daniel. The furniture experts will be able to better help you, if you show several pictures of the whole table including the sides of the drawers, handles, feet, etc. Please also note the Full Image selection for your photos at the top of the pictures. Thumbnails are hard to see.

 

I don't have an actual photo of the table but it's just like this one.

 

There are a lot of nuances with furniture construction. Can you get a hold of some photos?

 

Here is the actual table. It was damaged then sanded before we got it. The drops are removed as well.

 

Thanks. @Ghopper1924 @verybrad do you need more photos?

 

Quite popular during the 20's/30's +.

I have my grandmothers and I love it.

Not sure if you will find out who made it, but do wait for others as Kiko said.

 

Do you see the differences between yours and the one you thought was the same? For example, the similar one has single turned pieces between the bottom of the legs. Look at the same place on yours.

 

I do see the differences now! Until you see it side by side, it's kind of hard to tell.

 

Also the one you showed first appears to be of a different wood.
Yours appears to have a painted stain(wrong words - brain not in gear yet).
I think yours is 1940s, later than the one first shown.

I'm thinking you are wondering if it is worth your time to restore it. In my mind, that depends on a lot of things but you might consider Howards Restore a Finish for the bottom part. A lot less work. But that will depend on the furniture experts' recommendations and thoughts on the age of your piece. I am a dilettante.

 

Comparison side by side:

 

The top still needs sanding, as the stain has penetrated the wood.
As for value. This is a nice functional table, but not necessarily a high end antique. If you were to paint this, I don't think you would be compromising anything of high value.

Agree on the mid 20th century date. A revival piece. At auction in the U.S. midwest these tables bring very little, although they are still as functional as ever. Although I'm generally opposed to painting brown furniture, I agree with Cluttered that it would not compromise a high end piece to paint this one.

 

Nothing to add really. Lots of these out there made by countless companies. Suppose the 38 could be a date but just as likely an internal production code.
